Hang It in the Louvre! Esquire Issues the Correction of the YEAR on George H.W. Bush Pardon Story
http://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/12/04/esquire-correction-n2404648
The Left have been really circling the wagons in an effort to protect President Joe Biden's pardon of his son, Hunter.
It's important to remember the pardon is less to help Hunter than it is to protect the Big Guy from criminal prosecution, because we all know old Joe was elbows-deep in Hunter's 'business ventures' from at least 2014 through now.
One of the things the Left is trying to do is point to Republican pardons as proof, we suppose, that what Joe Biden did is perfectly fine. It's not, but they're sure trying.
In the case of Esquire, they tried to play the 'See! Republicans did it too!' card and it bit them on the butt. They said George H.W. Bush pardoned his son, Neil. But that wasn't accurate. At all
Check out this, the mother of all corrections:
Andy Kaczynski (@KFILE) ~ Esquire wrote an entire piece saying that people should “shut the fuck up” about Hunter Biden’s pardon claiming that George H.W. Bush pardoned his son Neil.
The entire story has now been corrected to note this is not a thing that happened.
“ Esquire regrets the error.”
The story was completely, 100% wrong.
They simply 'regret' the error.
Spare us.
Then they deleted the story:
Andy Kaczynski (@KFILE) ~ This is it, now ...
Wow.
The Galaxy's Shortest Wookie (@Crapplefratz) ~ "This entire story was based on a lie. We regret the error."
Like all the 'accidental' social media censorship, those 'errors' only go in one direction.
Burt Macklin (@BurtMaclin_FBI) ~ Did they also use ChatGPT to write their article? Because it told Ana Navarro that Hunter Debutts was pardoned by Woodrow Wilson.
Host Of ‘The View’ Mocked For False Claim That President Woodrow Wilson Pardoned Non-Existent Brother-In-Law Named “Hunter DeButts”

It sure did.
Heh heh heh heh heh.
BearFlagFan (@BearFlagFan) ~ Every editor who touched that article should be fired along with Charles Pierce. Does no “journalist” ever do even basic research?
They do not do basic research beyond 'will this harm Republicans?', honestly.
Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) ~ Remarkably similar to the time he wrote about the white privilege of a black Jan. 6 rioter. Story still lives in dramatically rewritten form though:

You're doing great, Esquire. Just great.
J.R. Holmsted (@JHolmsted) ~ You cannot make this shit up.
Noam Blum (@neontaster) ~ How many people got their pardon info from ChatGPT?
Sonny Bunch (@SonnyBunch) ~ I'm sorry, this is one of those things where you can't just memory hole the story, you have to explain how it happened. And if it happened because the author relied on Chat GPT (or equivalent), he should be fired for gross negligence.
He should be. He won't, but he should be.
